Granted
The Board granted service connection for generalized anxiety disorder, insomnia disorder, gastroesophageal reflux disease, bilateral plantar fasciitis, and migraine headaches based on their onset during active duty for training (ACTDUTRA).
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the disabilities had onset during a period of ACTDUTRA, and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
